Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Thomaston, ME.

Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Thomaston have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that many people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with people who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
